FSS Enter mode (No keybind field on Options screen)

When I scan a system, it tells me to press apostrophe to enter FSS and nothing happens.
I think I encountered a weird bug. My options screen has no field to change the keybinds to enter the FSS mode.
For what I have seen, everything else is there.

I found a solution and wanted to share. I entered a key of my liking manually.

Open the Bindings folder:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
*Note that in your system the paths and files may be a little different.

Edit the Custom.3.0.Binds file. Please make a backup beforehand, in case something goes wrong.
You can open it on the Notepad or, preferefably, the Notepad++ (free software). Notepad++ can suggest the right keywords, so we do not break the file.
Press Ctrl+F to open the search box and locate <ExplorationFSSEnter>.
You should find something like this:

<ExplorationFSSEnter>
<Primary Device="GamePad" Key="GamePad_Back" />
<Secondary Device="Keyboard" Key="Key_O" />
</ExplorationFSSEnter>


Enter the game options. Find an unused key on your preferred device and change it in the editor.
Save it and, if everything went well, you're good to go.

I seem to remember that they moved the "Enter FSS" selection into the FSS section then it moved back to the Mode Switches section again for some reason.
